Learn moreA real, address-dependent sales tax rate shared with the rest of Greenville County
The combined sales tax rate in Greenville County runs 7.0% (6.0% SC state + 1.0% county) up to 8.0% in parts of the county with additional local/special-district taxes -- the same range independently sourced this session for Simpsonville and Travelers Rest, applied here as legitimate county-level context.
South Carolina's real, two-bracket income tax
Act 110 (H.4216), signed March 30, 2026, replaced the prior three-bracket schedule with two brackets effective for tax years beginning after 2025: 1.99% on the first $30,000 of SC taxable income, 5.21% above. Social Security is fully exempt at any age; residents 65+ get coordinated deductions capped at $15,000 combined.
Greenville County's real, already-documented Hurricane Helene impact
Mauldin sits in Greenville County, the same county already independently sourced in this dataset's greer-sc.js record for Hurricane Helene's September 27, 2024 impact -- winds up to 90 mph, more than 2,000 damaged buildings countywide, and 7 confirmed county deaths, a real, disclosed share of the Upstate's 49 combined SC deaths from that storm. Restated here as county-level context; no Mauldin-specific damage figures were available this session.
Homeowners insurance follows the Upstate SC pattern -- a disclosed research gap here specifically
No Mauldin-specific homeowners insurance premium figure was found this session -- disclosed as a research gap. South Carolina's statewide averages (roughly $2,004-$3,100+/yr) are pulled upward by coastal exposure; inland Upstate markets have been cited elsewhere in this dataset (see greer-sc.js) as running meaningfully below that statewide blend.
